Beit known that I, NATHAN HEYMANN, a

citizen of the United States, and a resident tion of parts as will behereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims, refer? encebeing had to the accompanying draw ings, in which: Y

Figure l is a vertical section of my refrigerator.; Fig, 2 is ahorizontal section showing the ice chamber and location of' watersupply; Fig. 3 is a detail vertical section. y

My refrigerator is to be preferably made of sheet -metal having thewalls packed as usual.

The provision chamber A is located rat the lower part of therefrigerator as usual and the ice chamber B above it. Within theicechamber and -lyin disposed a coil, of pipe leading from the water box Dsecured to the outside of the refrigerator, said `water box having acover D; this coil, after passing through the ice chamber, passesthrough the front wall of the casing `and has a spigot c for drawing ofthe water for drinking purposes.

The ice chamber does not extend entirely to the sides of the casin therebeing a space between said ice cham er and the sides of the casing, asshown inFigs. 2 and 3; the front and rear walls of the ice chamber areprovided with guides g in which slide the vertical lates `E forming thesides of the ice cham er; .these plates E have a horizontal upper flangeE which is perforated as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, which perfora-4 5()Ations allow the cold air from the` ice cham-y .ber to pass downwardly tothe provision chamber, as indicated by arrows in' Figs- 1 and 3.Extending from the ice chamber downwardly is the waste pipe F whichpasses throu h the bottom o the provision chamber an 'enters the cup, ordrumv Y Specification of Letters Patent. fi y applicati@ mea August ze,1909. lserial 30,514,089.

on the floor thereof isv `the. drum trap Y extendsV the drip pipe Hwhich has the inverted cone-shaped cap I, said cap entirely inclosingthe lower end of pipe H andl preventing the ingress of in .sects to thewaste pipe.` The ,pipe H has the waste water to ldischarge into thecone-shaped cap l. The Waste water, when the cone@ shaped cap I becomesfull, runs into the drip pan J, as is usual with this type ofrefrigerators.

The refrigerator is.v provided with a lid or cover K winch also forms alid or cover for the ice chamber, by which means the ice chamber is tobe lled with its supply of ice. This` cover K is made hollow, belngformed of the upper .wall K" and the lower wall K2 or compartmentfKs.The lower wall K2 is closed by la door K4. which lis of metal andperforated, as. Vshown insection in Fig. l. rlhis chamber is to be usedfor storing fruit, vegetables, meats, fish, &c., preventing. any odorfrom entering`the cooling apartments or chambers, where other articlesof food are kept.

The water tank D is made detachable from'the refrigerator and is to beprovided with a clean-out, said water tank bei e' `placed at therear ofthe refrigerator annd the coil from the same passing through the icechamber will form a convenient source of other water supply at hand.

strips L of suitable size so vthat when the door and cover are closedcold air will be prevented from escaping.

'lhe partitions, trays, pi e coil, drain pipe, and vwater tank may e allremoved from the refrigerator for cleaning without any inconvenience.

casters, hinges, looks, knobs, &c., as is usual in this type of devices.

The ice necessary will be placed in the chamber B lying on the coils C,thus cooling ply tank D to the spigot c, and the waste water will passdown the drain pipe. F to the air trap G and thence to the drip pan.

It will thus ,be seen that I provide a simple, cheapand eiicientconstruction of re- Patented July 2e, l191,0.

I claim: i y

1. A refrigerator comprising a casing consisting of a Ilnainprovisionchamber, an ice chamber immediately above the same, a cover orlid e'nnon to the casing Aand. ice chamber, said cover having a lowerwall and intervening space between the ower and upper walls of thecover, said lowerwall having an aperture, and a perforated plate hingedto the lower wall and closing said aperture.V v l 2'. `A refrigeratorcomprising a casing oonsisting of a main provision chamber, an icechamber immediately above-the same, said ice chamber of less width thanthe width of they feasin vertieal'gude flanges extendingl upward y fromthe side edges of the ice c amber, ,removable side walls fitting withinsaid guide anges, perforated horizontal flanges extending from the upperedges of the slde walls to the side walls" of the casing, a cover or lidcommonl to the casing, and ,the ice chamber, said cover having a lowerwall and an intervening space between its upper and lower Walls, saidlower wall having an aperture through which theice chamber is supplied,and a hinged perforated plate closing said aperture.
